I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Kington based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Kington.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Kington 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to find all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Kington before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Kington. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
